Title: Optical instrument stabiliser
Inventor: INNES FRANCIS ALBERT SHAW
IPC: G12B5/00
Filed: 1984-06-30
Abstract: An optical instrument stabiliser, i.e. a device for reducing the level of unwanted angular movement in hand-held devices such as cameras and binoculars, consists of two or more masses 10 rigidly connected to a mounting 13 having provision for attachment to the instrument. The separation of the masses from the instrument and each other is such as to substantially increase the moment of inertia, and hence the resistance to angular acceleration, about any axis through the instrument. The disposition of the masses 10 is also such that two or more may be in contact with the person of the operator in order to damp out any remaining vibration. <IMAGE>

Title: A rotor for an electrical machine
Inventor: POPOV ENTCHO NIKOLOV
IPC: H02K1/27
Filed: 1985-05-20
Abstract: A rotor for an electrical machine comprises a shaft (4) and radially oriented permanent magnets arranged between pole terminals (1) with grooves in those faces of the pole terminals contacting the magnets, into which grooves cotters (2) have been driven, the cotters being longer than the pole terminals. Like ends of the cotters are connected with one another and with the shaft by means of a non-magnetic connecting element (3). This construction makes it possible to increase the radial dimensions of the magnets, thus increasing the effective magnetic flux and reducing the dissipation of magnetic flux through the machine shaft. <IMAGE>

Title: A modulator/demodulator and a portable digital computer incorporating the same
Inventor: SINGH CHARANJIT
IPC: H04M11/00
Filed: 1985-08-19
Abstract: A modem has a LINE terminal (310) which is connected to telephone line terminals TIP (402) and RING (403) by way of an isolating transformer (401). The LINE terminal is connected to the receive and transmit lines within the modem. These lines are preferably also connected to terminals for an acoustic coupler.

Patent GB-2190557-A (GB)
Title: Distributed amplifier
Inventor: SOSIN BOLESLAW MARIAN
IPC: H03F3/60
Filed: 1986-05-16
Abstract: A robust amplifier consists of two delay lines 12 and 23 linked by a number of discrete amplifiers 13. Distortion correction is carried out by distortion feed forward. This is achieved by sampling the output of each amplifier 13 at a coupler 17 and then subtracting this sample from the input signal to later amplifiers (13) along the delay line 12 at directional coupler 19. As a result each discrete amplifier's distortion is corrected by all of the following discrete amplifiers (13) in the amplifying circuit.

Title: Spool
Inventor: WEINERT WERNER
IPC: B65H75/14
Filed: 1986-06-26
Abstract: A spool for a tape-shaped record carrier, especially a computer tape, comprises an annular core (3) of radial I-section held between two flanges (1, 2) without being firmly connected with these. For this purpose, one flange (1) is provided with spigots (5) and the other flange (2) with sockets (8), which are mounted at the inside walls of the flanges and project through passages in a web (3c) of the core to interengage. The sockets and spigots are arranged on annular beds (4, 10) which are of different heights and in these heights correspond with the depths of the annular recesses in the I-section of the core (3). The sockets are connected together by arcuate segments. As a result, the flanges and the core can be assembled only in a defined association one relative to the other and, after initial assembly, a slight rotation of flanges relative to each other allows the spigots to engage in the sockets. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method of reverse on electrodialysis utilizing one or more batteries 58, 59, 60 of cells separated by ion exchange membranes (14, 15, Fig. 1) in which a first set (101 to 191) of alternate cells is supplied with water containing electrolyte ("salt water") and a second set (200 to 291) of alternate cells is supplied with water containing little or no electrolyte ("fresh water"), one of the first and second sets is supplied with liquid at higher than ambient temperature and warms liquid in the other set by heat exchange within a battery. The liquid supplied at higher then ambient temperature may be the fresh water supply 64 which is heated by hot water or steam 51 from a waste water source e.g. a power station, oil refinery or chemical works. The invention is best applied near a river estuary where there is a plentiful supply of salt water and fresh water. By operating the battery at higher than ambient temperature the voltage of the batter is increased. <IMAGE>

Title: Radar for detecting moving targets
Inventor: CROSS MALCOLM GEOFFREY
IPC: G01S7/285
Filed: 1987-10-10
Abstract: An airborne pulsed Doppler radar has a signal pre-processor (16 Fig 1) for compressing the bandwidth of the radar signals for transmission over a data link to a ground station for real-time processing. The total unambiguous Doppler spectrum for moving targets is divided into several equal frequency bands using a corresponding number of local oscillators (163) and a bank of mixers (164), and the frequency bands are overlaid by summing units (165, 166). To avoid ambiguity, either another set of different mixing frequency are used as well (Fig 3), or phase variation characteristics are used to establish the requisite velocity. The radar is used in airborne SAR, with real time or subsequent signal processing.

Title: An improvement in the movement, fixing and repositioning of stepped shelf storage and display facilities
Inventor: REID ROBERT GOW
IPC: A47B45/00
Filed: 1989-03-31
Abstract: A stepped shelf in section has two inverted channels; one channel fitting over the other having one or more horizontal levels (13 and 3) or steps. The inverted top section is shaped as an internal wedge and the bottom section is shaped as an external wedge both having tapered legs (11, 12, 1 and 2) or sides that have the same degree of taper. The internal wedge section moves freely over the external wedge (Fig. 1) until it is pressed down on to the external wedge which locks the two sections together (Fig. 2). To unlock the two sections the locking process is reversed. The extension shelves and the open ended shelves are internal wedges and the support shelves are the external wedges so that the shelves can move relatively to each other and as the desired length of shelf is reached they are locked together as a composite shelf. The shelves may or may not have retaining rails along the back and at the shelf ends. A similar system can be applied to round shelves. <IMAGE>
